摘要:
The standard error of the mid-point between the quartiles, that of an estimate (E s) of the population standard deviation obtained from the distance between a quartile and the median, and the correlation between quartiles and median are derived. A more reliable estimate of the population mean is obtained from the midquartile point than from the median, though both estimates have a larger standard error than the sample mean. E 3 has a large standard error and is far from normally distributed.
